LIFELINE EXPRESS PROJECT
May 2018
Curadev was proud to support the 192nd Lifeline Express Project conducted at Araria in Bihar, a large district with a vast rural population, agriculture being the primary occupation. There is an acute shortage of specialist doctors and inadequate infrastructure to deliver health services to needy people in the community.
The Project provided medical treatment to thousands of poor patients including dental and gynecological care while also performing corrective orthopedic surgeries and operating on cataracts. Lifeline Express also offered preventative services such as hearing tests and oral cancer screening.
May 2016
Curadev was a proud sponsor of the Impact India’s 172nd Lifeline Express Project at Gondia in Maharashtra in 2016. An initiative by IIF (Impact India Foundation), the Lifeline Express (LLE) is the world’s first state-of-the-art hospital on a train. Launched on July 16, 1991 in partnership with Indian Railways, the LLE aims to cater to those who cannot reach hospital and bring modern medical care to under-served rural and tribal areas.

DISASTER
RELIEF
AMPHAN TYPHOON,
WEST BENGAL
June 2020
Super Cyclonic Storm Amphan was the most powerful storm to hit the eastern coast line of India in decades and caused widespread devastation in West Bengal. Mass evacuations based on early satellite data restricted the loss of human life to 86 but the state suffered calamitous losses of housing and infrastructure just as the country was coping with the first wave of COVID-19.
The contribution of Curadev team members which averaged to 5 days of salary was sent to aid the relief efforts of the Government of West Bengal.
NATIONAL COVID RELIEF
June 2020
Lockdowns imposed to slow the spread of the pandemic in 2020 led to a severe disruption in the national economic output.
The contribution of Curadev team members which averaged to 15 days of salary was sent to the Chief Minister relief funds of Uttar Pradesh and Delhi and to the National Prime Minister relief fund, in an effort to buffer the unprecedented economic impacts of the lockdown. Curadev itself contributed an equivalent amount through the Samatvam Trust.
KERALA FLOOD RELIEF
August 2018
Unusually high rainfall during the season led to the worst flood in Kerala in nearly a century. Flooding affected hundreds of villages, destroyed an estimated 10,000 km of roads and thousands of homes. More than 600 people lost their lives or are presumed dead.
Curadev supplemented the donation of 2 days salary by team members with a matching donation to aid the relief efforts of the Government of Kerala.
